Become Valuable Assets in the Great Progeny of Teachers
Become Valuable Assets in the Great Progeny of Teachers
Sohan Lal D.A.V. College of Education began with a man’s dream to create an institution where students would be educated to actualize their potential and succeed as human beings. It is an institution striving not only for academic excellence but for producing seasoned human beings who shall take the reins of the nation and become valuable assets in the great progeny of teachers. Keeping in time with the developments in educational strategies around the globe, S.L. D.A.V. has been envisioned to develop into a strong centre for providing total quality in teacher education. We are committed to contributing to the future of the nation by creating seamless educational opportunities.
I would like to share an incident from the life of Abraham Lincoln, where he wrote to his son’s teacher advising him to impart not merely academic training and education, but to prepare the boy to face the ups and downs of life in a confident, brave and ethically balanced manner. The teacher should teach him how to incorporate love and kindness into his thoughts as well as his actions. Teacher education colleges, I believe, should be about more than just academics — more about producing thinkers than walking repositories of knowledge, more about creating an ethic of questioning than of preserving the status quo.
